Chevrons - at last!

Ever since Quilting Quickly - Summer 2013 came out I've been waiting for chevron fabric to arrive at Serge & Sew. I knew it had been ordered ages ago but I also know that fabric just comes when it comes no matter when it's ordered. Finally some came from Northcott's Feathered Friends line so I could make my version of Hard Candy.

I used a Maywood Studio Shadow Play and my EZ Quilter Easy Dresden Ruler instead of the template (the template was longer) so my finished circle is approximately 19" across. I quilted 1/2" lines in a spiral (starting near the center) before appliquéing the circle with Lite Steam-A-Seam 2. On the back I used a gold coloured fabric from Cranston Print Works from my stash. For batting I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20.

About Me

I was only going to quilt "once in a while" when I purchased my Bernina Activa 130 in 2001 but it quickly changed to daily. Luckily, my husband is very supportive of my love of fabric. We, and our two dogs, live in Nanaimo, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada. Currently, I sample sew and teach at Serge and Sew (Nanaimo, BC) and sample sew for Snip & Stitch (Nanaimo, BC).
